It also showcases the full list of platforms: Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X\/S, and PC (via Xbox, Steam, and the Epic Games Store).<\/p>\n<p>Beyond that, the trailer largely focuses on the addition of the Land of the Dead from Pixar&#8217;s <em>Coco<\/em>. There, Miguel starts to perform on-stage before Heartless appear in the crowd, with Sora then emerging to attack them with a Keyblade. Other clips show Sora grinding a rail on a guitar-themed Keyblade, Mickey pondering how to save Sora, Donald and Goofy conversing with Hades, and a brief glimpse of the modern metropolitan setting of Quadratum.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s always a chance that <em>Kingdom Hearts 4 <\/em>could still slip out of its planned late 2027 release window. After years of teasing, the final reveal of a release window indicates some degree of confidence, but <em>Kingdom Hearts 3 <\/em>set a concerning precedent by ultimately missing its announced 2018 release window.<\/p>\n<p>In either scenario, <em>Kingdom Hearts 4 <\/em>shouldn&#8217;t be too far away now. In the meantime, fans may be able to entertain themselves with another project: the newly announced <a href=\"https:\/\/screenrant.com\/kingdom-hearts-disney-adaptation-d23\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Kingdom Hearts <\/em>anime series<\/a> coming to Disney Channel and Disney Plus. The series, however, is simply labeled as &#8220;<em>Coming Soon<\/em>,&#8221; so it might not even release until after <em>Kingdom Hearts 4<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, the <em>Kingdom Hearts <\/em>franchise is gearing up for a lot more activity than it&#8217;s had in recent years. There have been some setbacks along the way (the cancellation of the <a href=\"https:\/\/screenrant.com\/kingdom-hearts-missing-link-cancelled\/\" target=\"_blank\">mobile game <em>Kingdom Hearts Missing-Link<\/em><\/a>, for example), but hopefully, the wait for <em><strong>Kingdom Hearts 4<\/strong> <\/em>will be worth it.<\/p>\n<div class=\"display-card type-video-game large\"
